Case Summary:
A successful EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition needs to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the applicant’s work is of significant value to the U.S. This is what our team helps its clients with. So when we got an NIW filing request from an NGS research core operations manager in genomics, we made sure to showcase her achievements in such a way that her approval would be assured. The factors that we counted on for her win are as follows:
- As an expert in the field, her proposed endeavor is to continue her research on the application of cutting-edge gene sequencing and gene editing technologies to identify the causes of genetic diseases in order to develop effective diagnostics and identify novel therapeutic targets for these diseases.
- Her research advancing her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it addresses the necessity of identifying and treating rare genetic diseases.
- Her proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since genetic disorders, or diseases caused by mutations to one or more genes, pose a considerable threat to American citizens. Many of these diseases, including Huntington’s disease, hemophilia, and sickle cell disease, present considerable health challenges.
- Due to its clear national importance, her research has in fact been supported with funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Shurl and Kay Curci Foundation, and the US Department of Energy.
- Along with this, she has completed at least 13 reviews to date. Given that only the most highly esteemed researchers in the field are invited to evaluate the work of their peers, especially in notable venues like these, it is clear that she is seen as very knowledgeable in the field and an expert in topics related to her proposed endeavor.
- Her research has also resulted in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles which have been cited a massive total of 2,899 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of genomics.
- Her research attracted the attention of several other experts in the field getting her 2 letters of recommendation which helped a great deal in winning her the approval of the USCIS.
